STATE CODES FOR GST

The 15 digit GST Identification Number (GSTIN) contains state code as its first 2 digits. These digits help the user to recognise the State or Union Territory in which the assessee is operating. The PAN based GSTIN starts with State code followed by PAN, entity code, alphabet and check digit.

One business organisation has single PAN but needs to have a separate registration in each State it operates. Hence, these State codes will give unique GSTINs to same PAN and provide State wise identification.
